In Reply to: What factors degrade electrolytic filter caps? posted by DaveD on May 8, 2007 at 13:42:04:
While the same physical part may no longer be availble, individual capacitors are. IOW you can make up the required capacitance value(s) with individual descrete parts. The circut will function as intended but just not cosmetically look as before. If the unit has a cover, this inner appearance matters not. And due to modern construction technology permitting smaller physical packages than previously for the same capacitance value, there may be sufficient space under the chassis for the new individual descrete capacitors while leaving the original can cap in place (but disconected) to preserve original cosmetics. Per existing aged parts, I'd think the heat stress of 24/7 could be more detrimental than normal on-off usage.
